It's not only about the burning calories and build muscle and all the biochemical stuff that happen. It's about the emotional/mental part of me. When I work out (either running or functional training) I don't use my phone (well I am but for music, no apps, no calls, nothing nothing nothing).
It builds confidence. Not because you look at the mirror and worship yourself. It makes you better through your day to day survival and existence. It stops the overthinking. It makes you tend to be more positive than negative.
Running works better for that for me (but I need the weight training of functional). And there's also a bonus: you can't eat and run at the same time (it's funny but when I spend some hours at home I tend to eat everything)
And it also serves as a full stop to my day. I come back from work. I'm a stressed anesthesiologist. Do you know what happens when I go running? A full stop. Work is over for today, no more thinking about it. I run, my thoughts are washed away. I go home take a shower and it's a fresh start.
Just one more thing. Don't allow your job to inflate and shrink everything on its midst. Don't overeat because works stress you. You need to take control. Is it easy? No. Is it achievable? absolutely.
